About
Your rights. Our passion.
At Pearl & Thompson, our practice area is exclusively criminal defense. No matter what charge, or charges, you are facing, we will fight for you with compassion and integrity. This isn’t just a job for us, it’s a passion. We understand that being accused of a crime is a scary experience. We have the desire and design to help guide you through every step of the process. You will always receive personalized counsel and communication from your attorneys.
We never want a client to feel pressured to plea, which is why, in most instances, your flat fee will include the cost of trial. All of this will be discussed with you before you sign a contract so there are no surprise costs.
Our firm is based in Polk County and we serve all of Central Florida.

I have witnessed this team in action in the courtroom and they are phenomenal. Not guilty verdict within 11 minutes of jury going out to deliberate. They genuinely care about the constitutional rights of every client and will fight for you!
Call them no matter how minor or serious your situation.
Everyone will get the best defense!

Michela is hands down one of the best lawyers in Polk County. When nobody else wanted to take my case and I felt like my public defender wasnt giving my case the attention it needed, I was running out of time and options. Michela contacted me back, took my case seriously, and fought for me.She was professional, honest, and made me feel like I had someone in my corner. Im extremely grateful for everything she did for me and the outcome of my case. If youre looking for a lawyer who will listen to you, take your case seriously, and fight for you, I highly recommend Michela. You wont regret it.
